Comparing Beta 1, there has been many changes in this release, although it is mostly cosmetic.

Unity has been updated, tweak and 'finessed'; the Dash has been given slick new animations during Previews; and a pair of controversial new features have made their debut.

Rovio has released Bad Piggies, the swine-centric Angry Birds spin-off, on Google Play and other platforms. The game is available now as a free download from Google's app store, and comes in regular and HD (tablet-optimized) flavors.

Bad Piggies sees players take on the role of the mischievous green pigs from Angry Birds, building all manner of precarious vehicles in order to reach the end of the level, and steal some eggs along the way. The pig-focused gameplay has a lot in common with an earlier Rovio title, Amazing Alex. Players build contraptions, out of parts in a 2D grid, before taking them for a spin in the game world.

The game contains two zones consisting of 45 levels each, in addition to an unlockable sandbox mode, with plenty of content to keep you entertained.
